THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
MAX TJ (DO NOT OPERATE ABOVE THIS POINT)
To guarantee reliable operation, the junction temperature of the
ADP1712/ADP1713/ADP1714 must not exceed 125°C. To
ensure the junction temperature stays below this maximum value,
the user needs to be aware of the parameters that contribute to
junction temperature changes. These parameters include ambient
temperature, power dissipation in the power device, and thermal
resistances between the junction and ambient air (θJA). The θJA
number is dependent on the package assembly compounds used
and the amount of copper to which the GND pin of the package
is soldered on the PCB. Table 5 shows typical θJA values of the
5lead TSOT package for various PCB copper sizes.

The junction temperature of the ADP1712/ADP1713/ADP1714
can be calculated from the following equation:

IN and VOUT are input voltage and output voltage, respectively.
Power dissipation due to ground current is quite small and can
be ignored. Therefore, the junction temperature equation
simplifies to the following:
60
TJ = TA + {[(VIN – VOUT) × ILOAD] × θJA}

As shown in Equation 4, for a given ambient temperature, input-
to-output voltage differential, and continuous load current,
there exists a minimum copper size requirement for the PCB to
ensure the junction temperature does not rise above 125°C. The
following figures show junction temperature calculations for
different ambient temperatures, load currents, input-to-output
voltage differentials, and areas of PCB copper.
